Real estate investing isn’t always pretty. Just ask today’s guest, who quit his W-2 job to focus on real estate full-time and took down 10 deals in just one year, only for common rookie mistakes to derail his investments. If you want to know exactly what to do (and what not to do) when starting out, you won’t want to miss this episode!

Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! After a “home run” first deal, rookie investor Chris Reichenbach was feeling on top of the world. Eager to scale his real estate portfolio as quickly as possible, he got several more properties under contract—raising private money and forming real estate investing partnerships to get the funding he needed. But then, his flips started going sideways. Projects weren’t being run correctly, and his newly renovated properties were sitting on the market for way too long.

After unearthing one problem after another, Chris decided to hit pause on his investments. Now, he’s relaunching his real estate business and completing one deal at a time—the right way. In this episode, you’ll hear about not only the successes that come from taking consistent action but also the mistakes that YOU can easily avoid by following his advice!
